Canadian tennis sensation Félix Auger-Aliassime has been forced to withdraw from the Halle tournament in Germany after sustaining an injury while trailing German player Dominik Köpfer 6-4, 4-3. This setback comes just two weeks before the prestigious Wimbledon tournament.

The nature and severity of Auger-Aliassime’s injury remain undisclosed, leaving fans and analysts alike concerned about his readiness for Wimbledon. Köpfer, displaying a strong performance, now holds a 2-0 record against the Canadian star.

In a post-match press conference, Köpfer expressed optimism about Auger-Aliassime’s recovery, suggesting that the injury may not be serious. Köpfer credited his focused play on the court, showcasing impressive service games that seemed on track for a victory before the abrupt end.
